  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,May 18 2011]

Barely 24 hours after news broke out in Bollywood that Goan beauty and Telugu heroine Ileana is all set to play 'Mandakini' role in 'Once Upon A Time in Mumbai-2' with Akshay Kumar, the director of the film says he doesn't even know her.

Wonder if it is communication gap between Balaji motion pictures and the director or bad 'PR' skills of Ileana, the director Milind Luthira said, I don't know who is Ileana. I never ever heard this name before. We are yet to finalise a heroine for our movie and once it is done, we will let you know Milind told media personnel.

However, the whole Bollywood tabloids carried front page articles saying Ileana is finalised as the heroine in this movie despite the fact that Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are also being consulted for the role.For now, Ileana has '3 Idiots' Tamil remake and second heroine role in Anurag Basu's 'Barfee' in her kitty.

Meanwhile, Ileana is upset that the news came out even as consultations are still on.Currently in Goa, she is recovering from mental strain and exhaustion now.
